Extreme Bungy

:: 08 August 2008

:: Clark Quay

:: Singapore

Ever since I arrived here at Singapore I've always wanted to try this extreme bungy situated at Clark Quay (famous gimik place here in SGP) but I can't get someone to join me. Then alas! Gilyn, one of my project mate back in Manila transferred here to work. She also wanted to try it and so I've got someone to join me in this thrilling, extreme, and fun ride. We purchased the package promo, extreme bungy and extreme swing. Here is the photo of the extreme swing and for the extreme bungy we've got the video and it's posted on my multiply account.

Sentosa

:: 27 July 2008

:: Sentosa
:: Singapore

Anyone who happens to come and travel to Singapore will surely have Sentosa on their iterinary. I've been to Sentosa twice because whenever there are friends who went here for a visit I tag along. I wanted to go there again and enjoy the Siloso Beach though it doesn't look like one of the beaches we have in the Philippines but nonetheless it has sand. hehe! 

There is this Palawan Beach at Sentosa and we are wondering if the sand came from Palawan, Philippines that's why it's named Palawan. hehe! But there are heresays that it actually came from Palawan. So a taste of home on a different land.

Shown are photos taken during my second visit. The bus that will take you around Sentosa, the famous SILOSO letters and the Siloso sand. Can't wait to feel the sand on my feet again.

SGP Toy Convention

:: 28 June 2008

:: Suntec Convention Hall

:: Singapore

When I was a kid I love toys (I even sleep with them specially the new ones). I think it's only when I started high school that I stopped buying toys because I think I'm too old for toys that time. hehe! There is this Toy Convention here in Singapore and my friends, who are toy lovers (even if they're old already for toys), told me to register online for this convention because they are giving away freebies. Since there is no harm in registering and I don't have anything to do on weekends and the freebies is just so tempting, I obliged. We went there at around 9AM and the convention center is really jampacked with people of all ages. I thought we will be the oldest people but I was amazed that there are people older than us that are really toy addicts. We came across an Auntie with her son (whose a little younger than my age) on the queue and waiting in line to get in. She's so young at heart that she even tag along with her already grown up son on a toy con. And what really amazes us is that they're even going to USA for yet another toy con. She said that the freebies there are more extravagant than the ones given here in SGP. I haven't been in a single toy con back in the Philippines but my friend says that back home they only give posters, so sad :( Anywei I enjoyed the Toy Convention because of the Anime people. They dressed like Animes and Star Wars characters. And if I'm not mistaken they are called cosplayer. (Am I right Ken?) Anywei shown are some of the pictures I took during the convention.
